Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, 73, sure knows how to get to the heart of the climate change debate.
While the rest of the leaders of the United Federation of Planets (a.k.a. the European Union) were pondering new ways to stick it to their taxpayers to assuage their post-colonial guilt, Berlusconi was sketching out some ideas of a different sort …
From the UK Mail:
(Berlusconi) started doodling as the leaders discussed giving more money to help poorer nations combat the effects of climate change.
At first, the other leaders thought he was making his own calculations with a view to taking part in the complex talks. Then they realised he was sketching women’s underwear.
One source said the etchings were headed “Women’s knickers through the ages.”
The doodles are said to have included loin cloths used by Egyptian women, Victorian bloomers, French satin knickers, thongs and G-strings.
“No one could believe it,” said a source. “He was scribbling away and then sent round some jottings with women’s knickers on it. Some people were amused. Some were not.”
As much as we wish karma had rewarded Berlusconi for giving the climate debate the attention it deserves … sadly it didn’t.
Less than forty-eight hours later, in fact, the Italian leader got jacked in the face by a statuette-wielding protester at a rally in Milan.
Here’s a slide show of Berlusconi’s wounds … ouch!
